I hope you enjoy your visit to my blog, mainly card making but I now have four Grand children, three girls and a boy. As I love these kids so much I can't help showing an odd picture of them now and again. I really need to get into Scrapbooking too, loads of pics to use. I do some knitting and crocheting too.

About Me

Hi.
I live
in Spain
with my partner. I am retired and LOVE it. I love life here but I do miss my family back in the UK, two sons and three sisters and my Mum.
Crafting is my life, I do something every single day. In the past it has helped me get through some bad times in my life. One such bad time was when my first grandson died aged just 14 months. He had been born 8 weeks prem but was very healthy and was growing into a beautiful, bonny boy. It was such a shock when the call came. A day never passes when I dont think of him.
I am now Nanna again to grand daughter, Hollie, born July 2012, and Tess born March 2016. This is my younger son and his partner. I now have another Grandson, Noah, born Nov 2013 to my elder Son and they have a daughter, Aurora, born March 2015.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my makes. Please leave a comment so that I know you have visited me. xxxx

Use A Sentiment for Crafty Friends

Good Morning Again

Second post from me today as two challenges start on the same day !!!!

Crafty Friends Challenge this time is 'Use A Sentiment'.
Well I used Two, but I couldn't tell you where they came from, I just keep a load of printed sentiments in a box ready to use as and when I need them.

The image is from the sponsor and ( confession coming up) I had coloured it and left it on my desk ready to use, then it fell upside down and I used it as a matt to run through my embossing machine, so it was marked abit, and as I didn't want to print and colour again, I decided to emboss it with my Swiss dots embossing folder.

That's a great idea for your sentiments and then you always have something ready. I love your card. I really like how you embossed the image - it looks awesome! I thought you did it intentionally so it seems it was a happy accident.
